Hi, I have download a rom which include a tar.md5 file. I know odin could install it easily, but how can I do this from my phone (I haven't got windows at work).
I have take a look in the tar.md5 and it contain :
factoryfs.img
zImage
So, I have seens this kind of file in ClockMod backup dir.
May I create a directory in clockmod, push this file in it, and do a restore ?
Does it work ?
is they another way ?
Hi,
I downloaded a ROM from sammobile.com for my galaxy tab 10.1, and all I want is system.img which is located in a tar.md5 file .
if I extract is with 7zip I get a message "there is no correct record at the end of archive"
and dsixda kitchen don't seem to recognize it .
any ideas please .
thanks.
Well its simple just rename it to .tar and use winrar to extract it. the md5 extension makes odin calculate a hash to check if the firmware you're flashing is not corrupted.
hi,
I did that and I got a message "there is no correct record at the end of archive"
the files are extracted but I think it is corrupted because dsixda kitchen can't read it.
just extract it by 7-Zip and don't care about message
I have this problem too, my 7-zpi say that can´t open file format unknowed or damage.
your download maybe interupted, try download it again and do md5 checksum

You might be opening the wrong file.
You have to download 2 files:
xxxx.tar
xxxx.tar.md5
the first one is the one you have to open.
the second one is the one that only have the MD5 result of the first.

Redownlaod and try to unzip again. Kitchen should open it, make sure u have kitchen scripts for your phone or edit from flashable zip. Afaik
best idea
dont use 7zip but use unoversal extractor. it will extract everything.
I have the same issue for 5301. I have to get either the recovery or system img for creating a custom rom. Usually samsung firmware files can be extracted using izarc, 7zip or universal extract tool. some can be opened with ultraISO or similar tool. I tried dsixdas kitchen as well. That does not even acknowledge this ROM. These firmwares come as a single tar file with md5 sum attached. There is something different about this ROM file that wont even let let the regular tools see what is inside the file. I tried to open it with a hex editor and it looks similar what a regular tar.md5 file would look. Looking at the log file from universal extractor:
TrID/32 - File Identifier v2.02 - (C) 2003-06 By M.Pontello
Definitions found: 2641

Collecting data from file: C:\Technical\S5301XXALJ7_S5301OXXALJ8_S5301XXLJ7_HOME.tar.md5
99.3% (.TAR) TAR archive (149/5)
0.6% (.LZMA) LZMA compressed file (1/1)
7-Zip Tar archive extractions cannot be logged.
If Odin can flash these files using the same boot, recovery and system... images then there must be a way to extract these img files. wonder if odin extracts to a temp location?

Use odinatrix to extrat system.img n modem files..
Its the easiest tool do so...
U may also use splitfus2 bt its way trickier to use than odinatrix.

Now there is only one xxx_home.tar.md5 file..
That was old days.
Be a part of new world.
N now u cnt extract through an archve manager.
U need espicial tools like splitfus2 n odinatrix to extract files.
Don't be lazy.
Lift your hand n press the Thanxxx Button.=)
Thanks SArnab! so finally I am able to split the files using odinatrix. Now for this type of turbo ROMs how do I create odin flashable file???
I created a regular odin tar file with md5 sum but that does not go past 'NAND Write Start'. Please advise.

Your pc shud b superfast so that odintrix can work witout lag.
My HP G6 lapi took around 10 mins to extrqct the one .tar.md5 file..
The tool will automatically extract diffrnt .tar files such as modem_xxx.tar pda_xxx.tar n csc_xxx.tar
Now u can use these to flash through odin witout any prb.
U can use pda.tar in kitchen to get boot.img n system.img.
Kitchen will also help u extract sysmtem foldr from system.img.
U can also flash through odin the single .tar.md5....
Choose that in pda field...
Odin is smart enough to do rest of the part.
Don't be lazy.

Appreciate the quick response. I guess my question was not clear enough. I extracted the recovery and created a clockwork recovery named recovery.img. Now I want to flash this recovery back on the device. I created the tar file using:
tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > CWMrecovery.tar
md5sum -t CWMrecovery.tar >> CWMrecovery.tar
mv CWMrecovery.tar CWMrecovery.tar.md5
When I flash this using odin3_v3.07 md5 is verified but he flash does not go through and stops at NAND write start. Is there a special way to create a odin flashable tar.md5 file foe these turbo firmwares?

System App
how to install custom system ui/android status bar on system. my device gt-s6802. what's compatible with mine??
I'm trying to change the stock firmware on my unlocked unrooted international S3: I9300 to an official Samsung ROM downloaded from sammobile. The file I downloaded is called I9300XXDLJ4_I9300OXADLJ4_BTU. It's the UK unbranded firmware. The current firmware is on the phone is:
AP: I9300XXBLH3
CP: I9300XXLH1
CSC: I9300OPSBLH3
I have unzipped the file downloaded from Sammobile, which then gave me a tar.md5 file. So I change the file to just .tar, then unzipped that file. Inside that file I have:
boot.img
cache.img
hidden.img
modem.img
recovery.img
system.img
I then tried to use this tutorial on youtube called: How to Use Heimdall on Mac OSX to Install Kernels and ROMs!
When I open Heimdall on my MacBook, I plug my phone in (in download mode) and go to utilities, detect device, which it does. Then I save the PIT file on my desktop. I then go to the flash tab and browse for the PIT file, load that. Then when I go to add the files I don't have any files listed above called zimage or factoryfs etc, but also the Heimdell options doesn't have anything called kernal or the other ones anyway. My options in the partition name drop down box are:
Bootloader
Userdata
OTA
Hidden
System
Cache
Radio
Recovery
Boot
Param
EFS
BOTA1
BOTA0
MD5HDR
TZSW
The video says to match the files, but mine seems to have different names for things.
I have searched and read many forum posts on here and other sites. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong with either the unzipping or with Heimdall?
Thanks
Samsung hate apple....thats probably your problem
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks, but I only have access to a Mac. I did try my work computer, but it won't let me install any programs like Odin and drivers without Admin privileges.
Good evening,
I'd like to apologise first for my english, as it may not be perfect.
I'm trying to backup some app with adb backup (giving me a .ab file), transform the .ab file to a .tar file, extract the .tar file and change some files in it, then repack the .tar file (this is my problem) , then restore it to the phone.
I'm using windows, and my phone is not rooted.
I managed to get the app with adb backup, managed to transform the .ab file into a .tar file, managed to extract the .tar file and change some files in it, but i can't find how to repack the .tar file. This is the main problem, as i think once the .tar file is well repacked, the restoration with adb will be easy. I found some topics about it, but seems that repacking a .tar file is not that easy as I need to get the header from the .ab file and recreate the .tar file with it. All the solutions I found are for linux, and I'm really not quite good with it, so any solution with Windows would be awesome.
Hope anyone can help me,
Thanks
Heimdall for Linux and mac - this is a program that is used on Linux that's similar to Odin for windows. It is capable of flashing extracted tar firmware AP,CP,CSC,and BL using download mode for Samsung devices.
This is not my program.
Also I am limited to Linux for heimdall so testing Mac I can not do but Instructions to install will also be posted using a link
I am testing how to flash the s7 for others limited to Linux or mac.
Linux install of Heimdall on Linux:
Go to the official website here: http://goo.gl/PQC1RN
Scroll down and click on Download(for Linux)
Click to download the Heimdall version for your Linux version (EX. ubuntu13.04-heimdall_1.4.0-0_amd64.deb will work with 14.04 & 13.04 64bit)
Click and download the frontend if you don't like to work inside the terminal
Open your Downloads folder and click to install the files you downloaded
Remember to open Heimdall as Admin(sudo) so it works correctly
Mac install:
http://rootmygalaxy.net/install-odin...3-for-mac-osx/
Steps to flashing frimware on linux:
1. open terminal and type sudo heimdall-frontend
2. look for flash tab
3. extract firmware zip to a folder then create 4 more folders named AP,BL,CP,and CSC
4. Rename AP,BL,CP,CSC by removing the .md5 part of the file name leaving only the .tar at the end
5. Extract each tar to its specific folder
6. Under the flash tab look for pit file and click browse, goto CSC folder and click the pit file
7. Now look for add and from the list under partition details choose which file to add then click browse under it should have the file name you are looking for under partition details if unsure what to put, go through each folder you made and keep adding each file
8. then click start
This is capable of flashing the firmware , as in the pictures it shows it works and fails, i am thinking because i am flashing all at once instead of each folder separate, or in the wrong order
there are forums on xda on how to use heimdall more extensivly but im just doing this for the s7 so productive comments are welcomed
Also this is being tested on a sprint version of the s7 g930p that has been flashed to g930u firmware, in the pictures im flashing a firmware i already have installed just incase i mess up
Worked like a charm for me, this post needs more attention.
